In Episode 26, we’re introduced to new member Johnkimverlu Tupas (aka Tupas). He’s a 22-year-old personal assistant who moved to Japan from the Philippines when he was 8 years old. But he’s not just any personal assistant — he’s the personal assistant to Lily Franky, a famous Japanese illustrator, writer, and actor.
The way Tupas became Lily’s assistant is also pretty interesting. As it turns out, Terrace House isn’t Tupas’ first experience with television. Upon moving into the house, Tupas mentions that he became Lily’s assistant after winning a television competition show. After doing some digging, we found that the competition show was actually hosted by Lily himself. As for the competition part of the competition show, Tupas was voted the most handsome guy among all of the contestants.
While Tupas is relatively new to the entertainment industry, Lily’s career is quite prolific. He has appeared in more than 40 films since 2001 and has also been in several TV shows. In fact, you can see him in The Naked Director, which is now streaming on Netflix. He plays a high-ranking police officer named Takei.
